Covid: Germany starts Novavax vaccine this week

(ANSA) – ROME, FEBRUARY 21 – This week Germany will offer its population a new protein-based vaccine against Covid-19; mRNA used in the most commonly used vaccines. The Guardian writes it.

About 1.4 million doses of the Nuvaxovid vaccine, developed by US biotechnology company Novavax, will arrive in Germany this week, the country’s health minister Karl Lauterbach confirmed. Another million doses will arrive the following week. The total German government order for the year 2022 is 34 million doses.

The Guardian recalls that Novavax has so far been used in Indonesia and the Philippines, although it was allowed for use in the European Union last December. It is still pending clearance in the United States as concerns about the company’s production capacity persist. (HANDLE).
